Small Questions Thread

I'm trying to get Onenote on my raspberry pI so I have a dedicated computer for taking notes. I've bought and installed Exagear and managed to install wine through that, but now the onenote installer is telling me that I need a newer version of windows.

Is there anywhere I can find the install files for an older version of onenote?

Can I encrypt one of my boot partitions with Veracrypt so that it asks for a password if I try to boot into the encrypted OS in GRUB?

I dual booth right now (Win8 and Linux) and I'd like to add a third boot option (Win7), but I'd like the Win7 partition to be encrypted.

Basically I want an encrypted windows partition specifically for torrenting porn, organizing hentai, and playing H-games without using a VM.

How would I go about a future-proofed email address?

I'm about to switch over from my college email to a different email, and it would be nice to pick one with as much longevity as possible, so I don't have to go through the pain of updating all of my accounts reliant on it again.

Is a gmail fine, or is it better to get a custom domain and simply use it for personal use (as opposed to most custom email domains which are used for companies).

>>55635270
>The Q300 is a low-end drive and is among the slowest SSDs on the market. It's hardly alone in that; I've lost count of how many different brands are selling Phison TLC drives. In that sense the Q300 doesn't stand out from that crowd, and while that doesn't make it a bad drive it means that Toshiba is entering a very competitive market with nothing substaintial besides their name to differentiate themselves.

samsung I guess

>>55635368
yes gmail is fine
option 2. register domain and pay gmail to maintain email through it
best is of course your last name, but its 2016, so its unlikely available

I have a GTX 970 and a triple monitor setup. This causes my GPU to high a high core and memory clock even while idle which translates to 55 - 60c idle temperature (with no GPU fan). I know these temperatures are nothing to worry about for a GPU in terms of gaming but what about 24/7? How negativity will 55 - 60c be compared to 40 - 45c idle with dual monitor?

I'd prefer not to turn the GPU fan on but if it's better to have the fan on at say 10% and have lower idle temperatures, is it worth the wear on the fan to do so?

I think you can see what I'm getting at.

yes, I would definitly set the fan to be at some lowish 400-600rpm than letting it be at 60

it should be inaudible

annyway, its strange, techpoewrup does multimonitor tests and claims that gtx970 does multimonitor at very similar power consumption as is idle...
which seems like not the case if you are reaching 60°C

>>55635484

I heard somewhere on /g/ that Veracrypt was good for encryption boot partitions, but that could be wrong. I use Veracrypt right now for my VM, so I figured I'd use it for something else too.

I can only send encrypted webmail from a service like protonmail if the recipient also has a protonmail account, right?

I have no experience with c++ and would like to jump on board with the c++14 standard.

Can anyone recommend some good resources to learn? Already have a decent familiarity with programming in general; more looking for stuff on c++'s particular syntax.

>>55635981
do you have more money to spend?

going for i7-6700 and getting $130 mobo seems rather meh
first its non 'k' cpu so no overclock

>if you got extra $100

you could go for i7-5820k
this is true 6 core and 12 threads cpu
its enthusiasts quality, overclocks great, no shitty thermal paste, but soldered die...
that would eat $60 extra

and mobo you would need socket 2011 v3 mobo which would eat extra $40-50

I personally would go for microATX or even ITX build, smaller case, small mobo
no need 650W psu for 1070... small but awesomely powerful

>>55636098
I'll be using it for heavy gaming, recording with shadowplay. Editing and rendering with Vegas Pro and that's it.

Don't need a monster VR machine or anything like that but I would like a stable 60fps 1080 high/max for a couple years to come.

>>55636098
Forgot to mention I won't be overclocking.

What is the biggest capacity batter I can fit into S3 Mini? I saw one 4k but it had that bulging out thing not sure I want that.

I disassembled my 2 year old notebook for the first time today, cleaned it, changed the thermal paste on both CPU and GPU and then put it back together. On the first try, the power led, fan and DVD turned on, but the screen was black. I then checked two connectors, powered it up again and the led was on, but the fan didn't start anymore.
How bad did I fuck up? I assume it's the GPU, though I don't know why. Is there any chance it's possible to repair?

>>55635778

>>55636148
>heavy gaming, recording with shadowplay. Editing and rendering with Vegas Pro
???
it sounds like exactly the tasks that will benefit from extra cores and power
why are you not getting i3 cpu or i5 cpu then? Is your internal "feels-o-meter" telling you that i5 is not enough, but six core is whoaaa too much?

games already make use of all cores on all 8 cores AMD FX cpus, console games also count on 8 cores since xbone and playstation got them
dunno where you get the VR ignorance bit
transcoding, video editing will takes all the cores your can spare...

anyway you are taking expensive mobo and cooler if you are not overclocking, you can drop down to some B chipset $80 mobo and stick with stock

>>55636225
>Is your internal "feels-o-meter" telling you that i5 is not enough, but six core is whoaaa too much?
Yeah...I hear i5 is great for gaming, but would I not see benefit in my rendering times and multitasking with an i7?

If you don't mind, could you build me pcpartspicker so I can take a look to see what you're saying?

>>55636086
The C++ Programming Language 4th edition by Stroustrup is good if you already know how to program. It is designed to be useful both sequentially as a tutorial or randomly as a reference. It's about as exhaustive as you can get without reading the standard yourself. It's also neat to read about the language from the perspective of the guy who created it. The pdf is available for free in various places.

>>55636274
i5 was always considered perfect for gaming because games did not make use of hyperthreading - intels way to make one real core in to 2 virtual cores

so there was virtually no difference between i5 and i7

but lately there are some reports that more demanding huge multiplayer games like BF4 benefit from i7 compared to i5, not in raw FPS but in preventing FPS drops

but no one yet really tested that much, and as it stands i5 is the best buck/fuck gaming cpu

and I aint building you anything

check price of 5820k and some LGA 2011-v3 socket mobo and nothing else really changes
DDR4 is still in play as is the rest...

PC randomly shuts down

usually happens when i play GW2, last time i was months ago, today it happened twice within an hour. doesnt seem to be linked to CPU/GPU, sometimes i play for several hours with so much stuff on screen that my fps drop to 8-15 but the crashes are usually during regular gameplay where i walk around not doing anything demanding

speccy and co. cant into correct temps but from feeling my heatpipes I'd say the PCU was about 40-60 °C at that time (any more and i would have burned my fingers)

could it be because my PSU was breathing in the hot CPU exhaust?

>>55636802
run mprime for an hour and watch your temps, leave a long video on loop to check for artifacts

I have the weirdest problem ever and I can't find help on google.
I am trying out opensuse KDE in a VM.
when I use my mouse wheel while moving the mouse, it switches window (mousewheel up = next window, down = previous window). it only happens whne I move the mouse as I use the wheel.
it of course doesn't happen in the host OS.

any idea what the fuck is habbening?

sometimes my Asus laptop has a "meltdown":

video and audio freeze, input has no effect, only solution is turning it off.
Sometimes it doesn't freeze immidiately but does 2-5 mini-freezes(mouse and apps stops, audio glitches) within few seconds that lead to the final freeze.

Temperatures are fine, windows 8 "check for disc errors" options that i can access from C: properties finds nothing.I disabled sound card once and it still happened.
There is no pattern to be found ( there seems to be not a program or action that triggers that) but it seems to come in clusters ( happens 6 times in day then once or never in the next week).

I suppose it's an hardware failure, but which piece of hardware is failing? how do i understand it?

>>55636899
Sounds like a keybind inside of kde is either configured wrong, or is a new keybind you've never configured.

I'm trying to bypass the No Fun Allowed firewall on the student wifi at school.
At home I have a openvpn server, and pfsense running as the network firewall.
Is it possible for me to get the firewall to direct a connection on port 443 externally to openvpn's normal port internally?
tl;dr client attempts to connect to homedomain.com:443 > firewall has 443 externally routed to 1194 internally > openvpn server listening on 1194

For some reason the openvpn server won't work on 443, even though I have no http server installed on that server.

Is it possible to control an Android via USB or something without using any apps or anything?

The touchscreen on my OnePlus 1 broke, and I'd like to be able to disable the alarm clock. Currently it goes off every morning (even when the phone is fully turned off) and the only way to stop it is to shut it off by holding down the power button. Ideally I'd like this not to happen when it's in the mail for repairs, for fear that it will be flagged as a bomb.

So to remedy this, I need to either:
a. Disable the alarm.
b. Lower the alarm volume completely. (It won't let me lower the volume while the alarm is ringing, and lowering it at other times only affects ringer volume.)
c. Enable Bluetooth. (So I can connect my already paired wireless keyboard and shut the alarm off using that.)

I'm running CyanogenMod 12. I have Pushbullet installed, but I don't think that will let me do anything. I can install apps wirelessly through the Play Store website, but I have no way of launching them.

Any ideas?

Are people more retarded than previously or do motherboard manufacturers have no quality control anymore?

I am going to build a new PC soon, I am trying to pick out a motherboard... Like half the reviews on any motherboard on every site are shit. They claim shits broke, shit doesn't work, bugs, no manufacturer help, etc, etc. The other half of reviews are like "great motherboard 10/10 :)" and nothing more.

To be honest does it even really matter that much what mobo i get? I need to order new pc parts within the next couple hours. I ask for help and all anyone does is tell me "no no, don't get that" and then they never fucking tell me what to get instead.

What's the rush?

>>55639042
You need the Z170 chipset for two things mainly, that being RAM faster than 2133 mhz and CPU overclocking

There are some minor things like PCIe configuration which don't really matter to most people

If you're strapped for time and that motherboard suits your needs just go with it

Why is it not possible to 'hack,' for lack of a better word, the original source code out of an application or game to modify it in anyway you want?
I understand there is open source software that you can fuck about with, but why can't we mess around with the rest? Surely if something like Denuvo is close to or has been hacked then surely something like MGS1 on PC could be 'hacked' rewritten and modded by an experienced coder who understands that shit? Why does this not happen?

Yeah, Decompiling was the closest I got to my question with google. I don't get this stuff myself but why can't/isnt the code be used for anything?

can i get a bash script that echoes random garbage until a key is pressed?

on the same note, what's a good screen recorder for linux?

>>55639824
(Good) code has things like descriptive variable names, structure and if you're lucky, comments
Computers don't need all that fancy human speak shit so it gets removed in the compiling process
Decompiled code looks nothing like the original

Is there a better way (using Code::Blocks) to deal with libraries across multiple platforms than just creating a new project for each platform? It seems like the kind of thing that should be a solved problem, yet as far as I can tell the library finder plugin hasn't worked for years.

>>55639884
So could my original post ever realistically happen? Or is it just not possible/practical

>>55639949
It is not a practical undertaking
For something like a large studio game you'd probably be better off starting from scratch

>>55639824
Compiling isn't a reversible process. The compiler will do things to optimise the code for the machine that make it unreadable to humans. All the variable names and data structures that define objects in the source code are gone; all you're left with is seemingly unstructured memory and primitive operations.

For example, if you have a character data structure that has speed, health and jump height variables in the source code then in the compiled code all you can see is three words of data in the compiled code. You don't know that these variables represent a character - in fact, you don't even know if they're numbers or if they're characters in a nine letter word or pointers to somewhere else in memory.

I'm guessing this is the best place to ask about this issue.

The other day I started getting this "buzzing" noise in my headphones. It's a pretty consistent pattern. It kinda goes like this.

1 (short) 2(long) 3(short)

But sometimes it changes.

It's not very loud, but it's loud enough to hear pretty clearly. I remember something about possible radio interference from when I was younger. I'd hear it coming out of the speakers pretty often.

Anyone know what it might be? Happens at around the same time each day. Only comes out of the right ear piece.

>>55640161
A I5 and a GTX 1070 or a 1080.

High end GPUs are expensive.

I am using a 1366 X 768 screen resolution. Is it worth it to download 1080p video as opposed to 720p for the extra quality or would it not?

Yes because usually they have better bitrate.

No for stuff that is just upscaled (Chinese cartoons TV streams, some bad quality RIPs, etc).

Logicalincrements.com , you can check CPUs too and other parts.
For prices check PCPartpicker.

4K gaming at 60FPS at max settings is somewhat impossible/rare right now.
Its too recourse intensive even for the most powerful CPU+GPUs this gen.

Most cards can do 1080 gaming this days.

you're going to need dual 1080s for 60 fps at 4k gta v on ultra.

>>55640531
Oh nice, thanks a lot Anon!

>>55640585
Another thing worth noting is that 1080 actually looks good on 4k monitors, which is unusual. Most of the time if you are running a monitor at any resolution other than native, it looks like ass. But because 4k is exactly 2x vertical and 2x horizontal of 1080, content scales unusually well. Basically instead of having 1 pixel be 1 pixel, you have 4 pixels doing the exact same thing.

My reason for mATX was mainly due to budget, I've got enough to buy a PC but I don't have an unlimited budget so I'd like to save money when I can, since I don't think I'd go over 16GB or 1 GPU mATX seemed the way to go.

I've decided to stick with the 970 for now, I think the card will perform fine for what I'm looking for at the minute and I will upgrade once I get a job again and I'm able to make a bit more of an investment. I know I haven't put the fans on yet either, imagine they're there.

I recently completed a new build with an AIO cooler (Corsair H115i). This is the first time I have used one and my temps are very high. My cpu and mobo are around 60 degrees idle. Could it be that I did not mount the cooler properly, or is my cooler busted?
For reference, the cooler is running at about 30 degrees according to Corsair link. I'm running my cpu at stock.

Thanks /g/

Should I get an RMA ready?

stupid question, I know:
how would you charge an iPhone 4... without an iphone charger? wonder if there is some DIY shit out there :/

>>55641866
You still need a I5-6600K to be able to overclock.
The I5-6500 is a locked CPU and you cant overclock with it.

You should get a better HSF if you plan to do some good overclocking like NH-U12S, the 212 EVO will work but wont do wonders with it.

Never buy last gen GPUs, specially the GTX 970.
Why not just get a GPU later?
Try to get a RX 480 and upgrade to a GTX 1070 later on.

>>55641925
USB cable?

>>55641890
Did you applied the paste correctly? how you did it?

>>55641991
What's wrong with buying a temporary last-gen GPU? The newest series just came out, for half the price surely @ 1080p single monitor I don't need the newest gen JUST yet.

>>55642007
the paste was already pre-applied to the heatsink. I just stuck it on like the instructions said.
Maybe the paste was old?

>>55642108
No, pre-applied paste usually lasts way more than normal paste.

Something wrong is with it but i cant really tell you what.
Maybe you should RMA it just in case.

Nothing actually, often buying a generation behind would easily net you the best price/perf, for example many 390x go for less than the reference 480 right now

I don't think the CPU, or the cooler, is the problem...
you could have taken a pic of your setup and shared it with us.

Okay, so I cobbled some stuff together. I do feel the water flowing through the tubing. Everything seems to run fine, but temps are way too hot. When nothing is running they are around 28 degrees, but once I open Steam or a browser, it jumps up by 30 degrees.

Sorry for the shit image

No, just get a 2nd Hard drive and install windows on it with the same key, upgrade and done.

>>55643104
There's an extra step in your suggestion. He doesn't need to 'upgrade', he just needs to clean install 10 and enter his key. Also he could shrink his linux partition to make a temporary dual boot, or use clonezilla to back up linux while he's installing win

I don't have access to a computer of my own with a DVD drive, what's the best way to rip DVD audio on OSX?

>>55643457
Just delete all the partitions unless you are worried about someone trying to analyze the HDD to steal information. Also I'd consider leaving it in unless you have a great backup plan. If either of those ssd's fail you lose the information on both.

>>55643591
thanks for the help
and i just store my stuff on things like onedrive anyway, so i think raid0 shouldn't be too much of an issue

I scored a 7200RPM Toshiba refurb for about $90, but it's in warranty with the seller giving an extra one on top of that. This was a one-time deal though, while this guy is selling a case of these magically cheap drives.

It was 4TB by the way.

>>55644430

Its not that rare.

For whatever reason Toshiba/HGST refurbs go really cheap, but usually they trow used ones that arent exatly refurb.
They are $110 here in mexico for the 4TB ones, which is weird but they have lasted me more than 12000 hours so there is no problem.

Check your monitor settings, no? check your videocard drivers.

>>55644468
There seem to be some more available on EU ebay around your price, but they generally don't seem to come with a warranty. I haven't checked the one I bought in SMART yet but it's sealed, for what it's worth.

>>55644550
Yeah, what option am I supposed to check? Since I've individually checked and unchecked about each of them to no avail.

>>55644613
Yeah, you have to do it in your monitor.

Look for scaling options or viewing mode.

Your GPU should have this option anyway, not sure why you cant find it.
